Helped me scrap a car even though I didn't realize I showed up right as the yard closed. Quick and easy to work with.Make sure to be there at least 30 minutes before close.

I watched them load the scale, 642lbs. They recorded 350. Then tried to pay me .15c a pound for my wire where another place 2 mins away quoted me .80c. Made the mistake of going here without checking first. They finally reweighed and fixed the weight, but definitely watch them. Won't go here again.

I would leave 0 stars if I could. I m extremely disappointed. I went there today during open business hours and found a sign saying they were closed for a 30 min lunch break. I waited for an hour and called multiple times (no answer, and voicemail box was full of course). I also pulled up to the entrance and honked, but still no answer. I have not received a call back. Is this a real business?!

Feels like you are always getting it up the rear at this place

First time here today. As an electrician for 20 years I've been to several recycling centers to bring in scrap copper wire. This place is by far the best. Pulled right in, the scrap workers helped me unload, they were friendly, I went right to counter for cash payout in hand. This is my favorite place from now on and I recommend to everyone.

Last Saturday I went to that place and they didn't want to receive me with 15 minutes left to close...according to they close at 1pm...put in your hours that they close at 12:45

Says they close at 5...two days I've driven 40 miles and gotten there at 435 and they were closed. The four times I have been here the owner was an extremely arrogant rude person and his employees can all hardly communicate with you. Not to mention there is no first come first serve basis here they will let whoever throws their stuff on the scale be served even if the worker just watched them budge 5 people in line who were already waiting. Will be taking my business elsewhere from here on out.

Was a little confused about where to go with the first part of my load, but once I managed to figure out their organization of things it was a pretty good experience. Will definitely be returning.

This company determines your load's weight in front of you, but doesn't show the number on the scale. This is not business like. I have reason to believe that they maybe using this to profit more than they should be. Taking advantage of customers.

Fast service and very friendly probably about as painless an experience as it can be. Will go there every time from now on worth the drive from Belvidere IL

There's been many times where I went to drop off metal and noticed that they were other people without metal receiving money shortly after I drop off my metal. I have reason to believe that they are stealing from customers.
